Abstract: In Escherichia coli, signal recognition particle(SRP)recognizes and binds signal peptides being translated by ribosome to guide the new peptide chain to the cell membrane. In this experiment, localization of E.coli membrance protein in HDB51 and MG1655 was studied by Western blot based on biotinylation for membrane proteins targeting. By comparing the presence or absence of SRP in different E.coli, the substrate protein FtsQ that depended on SRP in the strain E. coli HDB51 was localized. The location of FtsQ was significantly affected without SRP. This verifies that SRP helps membrane protein localization. It can provide references for the study of localizing E. coli membrane proteins dependent on SRP.

Key words: Escherichia coli, signal recognition particle, membrane protein localization, FtsQ
